After this article I went and started reading about "roulette computers" and apparently there are 50+ sites owned by a single scammer, that all have the same layout: https://www.roulette-computers.com/

And apparently he owns this network of forums and review sites that all funnel towards this scam. Very interesting... It's like as 100x worse than mattress reviews it looks like

I wonder if there is an actual legitimate roulette computer that exists (which is mentioned in this randomness article).

Maybe the scammer made this post on PCG-Random ...

Apparentl Claude Shannon was even involved in such a scheme. I'd take the article with a grain of salt, but it suggests it's possible.
